REPLICATION INFORMATION

These replication files allow one to replicate all tables, figures, and results reported in Ellington Et Al.'s
	"Measuring Human Rights Abuse from Access to Information Requests," 
	as well as those reported in its Online Appendix.

This folder includes:

1. A "Main Analysis" subfolder, which contains five subfolders corresponding to the main paper's Table 1, Table 2, Figure 1, and Figure 2. 
	Each subfolder contains all necessary input data, R-scripts, and/or Do-files for reproducing the relevant Figure or Table. 

2. An "Online Appendix" subfolder, which contains subfolders corresponding to the Online Appendix's Table A.2, Tables A.8-A.11, and Figures A.1-A.4. Each
	of these subfolders includes all necessary input data, R-script, and/or Do-files for reproducing the Online Appendix's corresponding
	figures or tables.

3. A "mgm2014v6_2" subfolder, which contains the necessary shapefiles for making the map images presented in Figure 1 of the main paper and Figures A.2-A.4 of
	the Online Appendix. Note: these shapefiles are read-in by the relevant replication scripts contained within the "Main Analysis" and
	"Online Appendix" subfolders described above.

4. PDFs of the main article and online appendix.

Note: At the time of the analysis, with the exception of 2004, each access to information (ATI) request in our sample was given a unique id number by
	the Mexican government, known as a 'FOLIO ID'. Where relevant, our replication data include these FOLIO IDs. For the requests arising from 2004, 
	we use the original row numbers from the Mexican government's 2004 ATI request-response CSV file as the FOLIO IDs for that year. For the ATI requests
	in our sample, these FOLIO IDs can be used to recover original request texts and original attachment files via the "Solicitudes y respuestas por periodo"
